Irrigation Systems
The Most Essential Investment You'll Make.
Most landscapes that fail, fail at the irrigation. We design systems that water plants, not pavement — sized to soil, zoned to plant type, and tuned to the actual rainfall of Eastern NC.
Approach
How we draw and build irrigation.
We design irrigation systems the way mechanical engineers design HVAC — pressure tested, head-by-head, zone-by-zone. Spray, rotor, drip, and bubbler types are matched to plant material rather than installed by default. Smart controllers from Hunter and Rain Bird track local rainfall and adjust schedules automatically, which can reduce water use by twenty to forty percent over a fixed schedule.

We service what we install. A typical client receives spring activation and winterization visits, plus mid-summer fine-tuning when summer heat changes the soil's behavior.

Why Yardie
Three reasons for irrigation systems.
01 · Irrigation
Engineered, not eyeballed
We pressure-test and zone every system before we recommend a controller.
02 · Irrigation
Service after install
Spring start-up, summer audit, and winterization come standard with every system we install.
03 · Irrigation
Water responsibly
Smart controllers and drip zones mean a healthier landscape on less water.
FAQ
Common questions.
The questions we’re asked most often about irrigation. Don’t see yours? Send us a note.
- If you're investing in plant material that's worth keeping alive, yes. Hand-watering is fine for the first season; an installed system is what protects mature landscapes through summer.
- It pulls local weather data and adjusts each zone's watering schedule based on rainfall, evapotranspiration, and the plant type assigned to that zone.
- We recommend three visits a year — spring activation, summer audit, and fall winterization.
- Initially, yes — though usually less than a homeowner expects. Most clients save on plant replacement costs that more than offset the additional water.
- Well-installed systems last fifteen to twenty years. Heads and valves are wear items that we replace as they fail; main lines and wiring should be untouched for the life of the system.
